Systems and Methods for Decoding and Displaying Image Frames

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the other estimated image frame is generated by applying motion compensation to the estimated image frame.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the encoded image frames includes a plurality of received image frames and a plurality of unreceived image frames, wherein the estimated image frame is generated using information from one or more of the received image frames of the stream.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the estimated image frame is an approximation of changes likely to occur in the corresponding image frame.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said using the estimated image frame comprises displaying the estimated image frame, wherein the estimated image frame is generated and displayed in a time interval that is less than a time interval for encoding, sending, decoding, and displaying the corresponding image frame.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the corresponding image frame and the encoded image frame is an I-frame, a P-frame, or a B-frame.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the corresponding image frame is received at the client immediately following a reception of the encoded image frame at the client, wherein the corresponding image frame is encoded when received at the client, wherein the estimated image frame is generated based on information in the encoded image frame, wherein said using the estimated image frame includes displaying information within the estimated image frame instead of information within the corresponding image frame.

15. The client device of claim 14, wherein the other estimated image frame is generated by applying motion compensation to the estimated image frame.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the other estimated image frame is generated by applying motion compensation to the estimated image frame.
